If you make your coffee using an AeroPress, you probably are a little more particular about what you're drinking. And now there's an iPhone app to help you out with the brewing process.

What does it do?

Gives you prompts and timers for when to stir, pour, steep, and press your Aeropress. Also includes various recipes for the coffee brewing system.

Why do we like it?

You know by now that your crappy drip machine isn't going to give you great coffee. But it doesn't mean you have to spend a crap load of cash on some fancy system. An Aeropress will cost you $30 or less (here are some Amazon options), and the two dollar app will tell you the exact amount of beans you need to use, and it has a clock so you're brewing for exactly the right amount of time, for a number of different Aeropress brew methods. You'll be drinking a delicious, full-bodied cup of coffee, if you don't totally screw it up. And even if you're new to the Aeropress, the app will help make sure that doesn't happen.
